STEP 8B.

Below the list of products in the Select Features dialog box, you will see a Destination

Folder that deﬁ nes where all components will be installed on the computer that you are

installing to. To install to the default directory (recommended), do not make any

changes and click Next.

If you decide to install to a location other than the default, click Browse to select a

directory. Be sure to add “Pmw270” (or “Pmw271”) to the end of the new path. For

example: C:\Program Files\Pmw270. If you don’t, PC*MILER will install to the root of the

speciﬁ ed directory. Click Next when ﬁ nished.

9. Next, a dialog box will open titled Start Copying Files listing the installation settings that

will be used to copy ﬁ les onto the workstation. To change any setting, select Back.

If you are satisﬁ ed with the settings, click Next to continue.

If you have a previous version of PC*MILER|Connect or PC*MILER|Mapping installed,

an alert will appear on the screen with the following message, “The install found a

previous version of Connect (Mapping). These ﬁ les will be renamed with a .bak

extension.” If both products were previously installed on the computer you are

installing to, two dialog boxes will open. Click OK in the alert window(s) to continue.

10. Follow through with the rest of the installation. This may take some time depending

on the speed of the computer you are installing to. Do not exit or reboot the computer

during the installation. If any error messages appear, please contact Technical Support.

11. When the installation is complete, you will be prompted to view the ReadMe.txt

and to activate your license. Leave these boxes checked and click Finish to

proceed. When the ReadMe opens, review it and close the window when ﬁ nished.

NOTE: ALK provides a 15-day temporary license prior to completing the activation

process. If you make a second attempt to install on the same computer, you will lose

this 15-day temporary license. If you experience an activation error and need access to

PC*MILER before Technical Support is available, please do not attempt a second install

without assistance.

12. To activate your license:

If you are an Enterprise License customer, we are allowing you to bypass the next

license activation steps of the install (Steps 13 and 14) because you are already

activated and registered with ALK. To continue, answer No in the License Status

Window, then click the arrow next to Continue in the right-hand column to complete

the installation process.

If you are NOT an Enterprise License customer, the License Status Screen will open

to activate your license. If the computer you are installing to has an Internet connection

and you have a valid email address, the license activation process will automatically

initiate. In the License Status Window, click on the arrow next to Activate in the right-

hand column to begin the Automatic Desktop Activation. Review the information on the

screen then click Next to continue.

NOTE: Internet license activation is available 24 hours a day. If you don’t have an

active Internet connection or email address, please contact Technical Support during

business hours for assistance.
